I thought I'd seen everything when I moved to New Brunswick and learned about seriously competitive wood-cutters' competitions, but this beats that. (There's also speed-chainsaw-carving competitions, but I suspect you have to have fallen over the line between "competitive" and "slightly crazy" to participate in that.)<BR/><BR/>'Course, nothing wrong with having plenty of pride in your professional skills... enough pride to make showin' 'em off in public a fine way to pass a day.<BR/><BR/>Sugarloaf is a very popular destination among NB skiers. I didn't know you in the neighbourhood but then I am pretty vague on where exactly Sugarloaf is - or I was. I can tell you it's popular enough that it's mentioned on official highway signage when you get handy to the Maine border crossings.ronniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14044863062652781155noreply@blogger.com
